As for the handles, they should look similar they all are designed for human hand. And also thunder is just a budget version of x-fire,while effesub is italian maker of pathos ( with small differences ). Itīs nice to see though that some manufacturers recognize importance of ergonomics and the fact that with possibility of even minor adjustments by the buyer, handle ca be used by manny people with diferent hand sizes. ( c4 Mr Carbon, Cressi Geronimo, and even OMER HF )
One must not overlook the fact that mentioned guns in this thread are product of higly comerciolized industry, big, inerted, proffit hungry, companies ( with few exeptions )
which are compeeting on global market and must follow itīs rules. When donīt have new ideas for improving product they borrough some from others, recycle old features presenting them as new, also make a few make up changes, put higher price, start a commercial campain and buyers are happy, convinced that finaly they found a perfect gun for themselves ( the moast of average informed aniway ) and so on every season. Am I mistaken or Cressi Geronimo have very similar muzzle and bands sistem to OMER xxv gold ?
Remember, a number of years back, when they started to use carbon for barrels in order to minimize bending ? After a while, every company had at least one carbon model, the fact that most of carbon made barrels bended just as allu ones did not bodder them they were selling. Ofcourse, we consumers contribute a lot we were buying. People were investing in new spearguns even though old ones they have serve very well to them.
For the french typ arballete, yes in a while it will be very rare in production, but donīt worry, when market gets bored of this new design, and buyers be screeming for something new, most likely we will see glorius return of itīs classic design.
I donīt know if any of this make sence to anyone, but I tried to express my opinion as good as my english lets me.
Best to you all.

PS Everybody is complaining on hf that its maximum size is too short. Maybe its barrel making technology allows only this maximum lenght for obtaining the proclaimed bending factor.
